Abstract: 477,429. Lasting-machines. BRITISH UNITED SHOE MACHINERY CO., Ltd., and ROBERTS, W. T. B. Dec. 5, 1936, No. 33394. Addition to 423,026. [Class 17 (i)] The machine described in the parent Specification, which is designed for lasting welted shoes, is modified so that McKay shoes, also, can be conveniently lasted thereby. An alternative insole abutment is provided for McKay shoes, and the jack traversing mechanism is modified so that the jack may not be withdrawn away from the wipers, when McKay shoes are being lasted, the wipers being used as shoe gauges for the positioning of the work. The insole abutment 401 is interchangeable with that described in the parent Specification as engaging the insole lip of a welt shoe, and is provided with a narrow insole-engaging tongue extending lengthwise of the toe portion and short insole-engaging wings extending from its opposite sides heelward of the toe end. The link 647 described in the modified machine described in Specification 461,326 as cooperating with the lever 465 to withdraw the jack on actuation of the jacking and shoe clamping handle 483 is modified to permit the withdrawal to be optional. The connection between the lever and the link is by a pin 693 retained by a spring plunger 697 in either a slot 691 in the link or a recess 695 opening out of the slot, the link being raised or lowered manually to set the mechanism, respectively, for welted or for McKay work. The heel abutment 405, toe abutment 403 and wipers 5 are actuated as described in the prior Specifications independent of the kind of shoe being lasted.

[Classes 75 (i) and 126.] Liquid-fuel supply; atmospheric vapour burners; grilling stoves; oven stoves. -In a system for burning liquid fuel in which fuel is supplied wholly within metal pipes and air is supplied to the burner under pressure, fuel from a main tank 13 is pumped by electric pumps 16 into auxiliary tanks 12, 12a. As shown, in a stove five burners are mounted, two below the oven 2, two above, and one within at the top projecting its flame downwardly. The bottom of the stove is made up of two sheets of metal with a layer of asbestos between, and is removable. A tray 8 and grill 10 borne on ribs 9 are provided. Each of the tanks 12, 12a is provided with a pressure gauge 21, a hand pump 22, a vent 23, and a fuel tell-tale gauge 24.

In the case of the burners C, the generator C<1> is initially heated by a burner 21 controlled by a valve 31<1> and supplied with fuel by a pipe 32 from the pipe 29. The burner 21 is preliminarily heated by oil in the priming cup 33. The vapour formed in the generator C<1> passes through the manifold 33<1> to the burners C, the amount being controlled by a valve 34. When started, the generator C<1> is heated by one of the pair of burners attached to the same manifold 33<1>. A valve controlled drainpipe 49 is provided in the manifolds 33<1>, 331<1>. Air is supplied under pressure from the tank 35 filled by a pump 36 operated by an electric motor 37. A switch 40 in the motor circuit is opened and closed by a pressure regulator 39 when the pressure reaches a desired maximum and falls below a minimum respectively. The air supply is regulated by valves 48 and valves in the pipes 45, 45a. A mirror 47 pivoted near the base shows when the flame of the lower burner is extinguished.

Title: Apparatus for photometric analysis of a fluid
IPC: G01N33/49
Filed: 1977-10-18
Abstract: Catheter device having fibre optical waveguides (T and R, respectively) which transmit light into the interior of living bodies to be examined and out of these bodies again for the photometric analysis of a flow agent which makes it superfluous to calibrate each individual catheter in a multiplicity of catheters. For this, the distance between the central points of the light emergence surface of each fibre optical wave guide (T) transmitting light into the body and of each fibre optical wave guide (R) receiving light inside the body of an individual catheter within each bundle of fibre optical wave guides is chosen to be identical. Moreover, the size and shape of all light emergence surfaces of the fibre optical waveguides (T) transmitting light into the body are generally chosen to be identical in the same way as the size and shape of the light admission surfaces of all fibre optical waveguides (R) receiving light in the body in each catheter and from catheter to catheter, and the alignment of all fibre optical waveguides (T) transmitting light into the body is virtually identical with regard to all fibre optical waveguides (R) receiving light in the body. <IMAGE>

[Also in Division H3] The Q factor of a high-frequency inductor comprising the spaced coil 3 and adjustable ferromagnetic core 5 may be varied, without varying the inductance, by moving the shortcircuited turn or turns 9 so as to vary its coupling with the coil. According to the invention the short-circuited turn is non-ferromagnetic and has a Q factor not greater than unity. It is shown by analysis of the effective impedance of the coil that the inductance is almost independent of the coupling factor, but the effective resistance is not. The turn 9 may be a metal layer deposited on its support 7. The inductor may be used in bridged T filters for intermediate frequency amplifiers.

Abstract: 1,083,810. Testing cigarettes. K. KORBER. Aug. 10, 1965 [Oct. 3, 1964], No. 34158/65. Heading A2C. Apparatus for testing the filling of cigarettes or the like Z resting on a support 2, comprises testing pins 14 which are subjected to pressure, the result of each test being indicated by a control signal, the signal being produced by an induction coil 24 which is associated with an oscillator and the inductance of which is arranged to be affected by the position of the testing pins. The support 2 forms part' of a conveyer which carries the cigarettes to be tested transversely of their axes past a rotary testing head 11, movement of the conveyer and head being intermittent and synchronized. The head 11 is mounted on a stationary axis 12 and carries on its circumference a number of testing pins 14 normally biased outwardly by springs 16. The coil 24 is mounted for adjustment towards and away from the pin at the testing station P on an insulating plate 33, the underside of which carries a printed oscillator circuit and a transistor 34. Prior to testing, the pin 14 is moved to its rearward position by a guide 72 and then released. If the cigarette end is faulty the pin moves outwardly to an extent which alters the inductance of the coil 24 either by reason of the changed position of the free end 18 of the spring 16 in relation to the core 25 of the inductance, or by reason of movement of the pin itself, Fig. 5 (not shown). The normal condition of the oscillator, e.g. oscillating or non-oscillating, is thereby changed, i.e. to non-oscillating or oscillating respectively, from which change a control signal is derived. The signal is used to give a visual indication and to operate a pneumatic or electromagnetic device for ejecting the faulty cigarette from the support 2 at the time when it is adjacent the ejector device.
